Quote: jools "A few things wrong with what you've said there. We are talking about broughs kicking game at headingley. When we played you at hudds the last two games brough switched it about as you were expecting kicks so he played a running rather than a kicking game (that worked well also).
Seeing as hardaker hasn't played headingley (I'm assuming your statement is correct about who played there and when) you can't state he's done better because he hasn't conceded 40/20s there!
Brough would have adjusted his 40/20s accordingly had hardaker been playing there - or his game in general- so stating hardaker alone would have made a difference I'm not sure. Given we knocked on immediately after the second one in not sure what relevance 40/20s have to the outcome!
As for the relevance of the Leigh game on this debate, you stated we should be more worried than you as we couldn't put the ex champions, top of the league table team to bed away from home. I'm stating you couldn't put a team from the lower division to bed many of whom who are part time players with alternative full time jobs at home in front of your own fans.
- how is that less worrying.'"
I'm not sure how I can't predict that Hardaker would've done better yet you can predict Brough would've changed his game accordingly if he was facing Hardaker. I think the stats show Brough would've had a trickier time getting those 40/20's against Hardaker.
And I agree you could put missing players in for both teams and say this and that would be different, but what I was initially replying to was how good Brough's kicking game was.....I just pointed out he had a helping hand from a woeful BJB.
Regarding the cup game. You had your struggles against Batley last year didn't you? Didn't stop you winning the LLS. A cup game, treated as a cup final for Leigh, a team we won't run into again this year.....not much relevance at all really, just like your match against Batley wasn't.
